I woke up at 6 this morning (slept really well, which was weird when I knew Andy was playing ) and saw the second and third sets. As predicted by some of us, Andy was playing some lovely stuff. You can never tell I suppose, but does anyone else share my feeling that his form is building nicely? He looked good out there today in what I saw. My heart was in my mouth a bit when he was broken serving for the match the first time, but no bother. I love how he regroups now and gets on with it. I'm sure that's made as much difference to him now as any improvement on any shot.

I heard about the first set dip, I didn't see it. I think it's all right, I really do. I mean, I'd prefer him not to dip, but I think how he reacts if he does is more important. From what I saw it looked like he regrouped and took the match, and the opponent, firmly by the scruff of the neck and really didn't let up.

Andy was great in his interview, both on court and with Crofty. Good to know he is going to try to practice under the lights on Hisense before the semi's, to get a feel for the night matches. That's the way, don't let the buggers grind you down kid. That said, he didn't seem bothered about the schedule issue, but even those of us who are/were annoyed knew he wouldn't be.

Given that Andy's form has lifted, and that the delightful Tsonga (I like him anyway, but he gets a gold star today ) has given Federer a workout, and I have backed Andy to win the tourney, I'm quite looking forward to the semi's. Go on Andy!

Chardy must have had a really bad day today, otherwise gawd knows how he beat Del potro? I like his mega-forehand and drive volley, but he was very haemorrhaging UFE in the 2nd set. Nerves account for his poor performance, poss?

Need some help. Because of work commitments I have had to watch all of andys matches recorded. I have the opportunity to watch live on Friday and Sunday (if he gets there). The thing is when it comes to andys matches I get very superstitious. Do I watch live or stick with recordings. ???

Ooh Tessie you just have to watch live while you have the chance! I have work on Friday morning so will have to record but would give my eye teeth not to be going to work
